A VC that is also media company. Interesting.
Cathy Reisenwitz
I hope this funds investigative journalism that holds power to account and isn’t just more PR/content marketing for VC but I guess time will tell.

@cathyreisenwitz I think the TC artice was pretty clear it won't be investigative journalism — but hopefully more than PR/marketing! "The publication will cover topics that they find compelling with a broad theme of “rational optimism” — something that the firm feels there isn’t enough of in coverage of tech at large. This isn’t a news operation, Wennmachers says, and they will focus on future-focused informational and editorial content, rather than day-to-day tech occurrences." I read "rational optimism" as a note to say they know it won't be completely without bias.

Why is @patrickc listed as the maker of this?
Armand Khatri
I see he’s listed as a co-author of one story, but that feels like a stretch

@patrickc @golear I listed about 8 other makers's Twitter accounts but apparently none have accounts on Product Hunt. I just added @smc90 since she's a proper maker here!
Dan Meehan
@patrickc @golear Because he's making the future..?

Wish there article had the date stamp at the top than at the bottom. Especially for crypto articles time of posting is very relevant.

I'm intrigued by how neither the title nor the caption gives me any clue what this product is about

how can a16z not provide an RSS feed for such a website, so weird considering they got one of the smartest teams in tech
Cubic Ray
@chrismessina don't you find it strange that someone like a16z doesn't provide an RSS feed for a site like that, i mean would expect people on their team to rely on RSS to consume media content online, i know you've been around forever in the web tech world, would love to hear your opinion, is there something i'm missing, how are tech savvy people efficiently consuming online content these days? is there something better than RSS feeds? personally I can't imagine staying up to date about anything without RSS

It’s better than I expected.

Interesting that they bought future.com which redirects -> future.a16z.com. I imagine as they build this out, they will flip that, and future.com will be the main home for this.
